Kurokawa Onsen is a famous hot springs town in Japan. The whole town retains the calm atmosphere of a bygone Japanese era and the streets are crowded with people enjoying a stroll.
Satonoyu-Waraku is situated a short distance from the town center. A traditional thatched-roof main gate is here to welcome you. We take reservations only from those who are older than 12 years of age.
This is an inn with a calm atmosphere where you can enjoy immersing yourself in the great nature of Aso and admire the mountain scenery in each season.
Our wish is to let you enjoy your time at the inn in a more leisurely manner. With a warm spirit of hospitality, we look forward to seeing you.

You can enjoy two different types of hot springs.
One is an open-air bath where you can relax in nature and other is a cave type of bath built with huge rocks.

Surrounded by the rustle of trees, this bath is waiting for you to enjoy a most relaxing time. Do enjoy immersing yourself in the breath of nature and admire the beauty in each season. At night, you can enjoy bathing under a star-filled sky.

You will find this special open-air bath built with huge rocks among the trees. Do take your time when enjoying the charm of this natural hot spring by stretching your arms and legs as well as your mind.

We designed spacious guest rooms for you to feel the flow of time at our inn which is surrounded with lush green mountains. Our wish is to give you a warm welcome.
All of our special bed linens are washed by hand on the premises.
And our made-to-order loungewear, created from a three-layer gauze material, wraps you up nicely.
